Biden shocks with long, wispy hair at White House Christmas tree lighting: ‘Ghosts of corruption past, present and future’



Is he the Ghost of Christmas Past — or just another Scrooge?

President Biden shocked attendees at the White House’s National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday night when he doffed his stocking cap to reveal long, wispy locks — appearing more like a character out of Charles Dickens’ Yuletide classic than the commander-in-chief.

His white, billowy hair stood on end from the wool cap’s static electricity, spooking the White House press corps by making him seem older — and ghostlier — than usual.

“You’re still here?” he said in a playful jab at the journalists huddled in the frigid air on the South Lawn after he delivered his remarks to the crowd.

The shocking portraits of the 82-year-old president immediately began circulating online, earning him comparisons to the cast of “A Christmas Carol.”

“Dude literally looks like [Jacob] Marley’s Ghost at this point,” one X user offered, referencing the ex-partner of Ebenezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol” who comes to warn the miser of his looming fate.

“Biden about to be visited by the ghosts of corruption past present and future,” another carped in a veiled swipe at the president’s sweeping pardon of his son Hunter ahead of federal sentencing for gun and tax offenses — which covers any other crimes he may have committed between 2014 and 2024.

“It’s uncanny how this is Ebenezer Scrooge’s exact reaction to seeing all 3 Christmas ghosts in order,” a third suggested of the president’s quizzical demeanor.

Others said Biden’s unkempt coiffure rather reminded them of movie stars or eccentric artists and sportscasters.
Biden yelled something resembling "you're still here?" to the press.

The president looked more like a character out of Charles Dickens’ Yuletide classic than the commander-in-chief.

“Wait til they get a load of me,” one netizen mocked, likening the president to Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of the Joker in the 1989 film “Batman.”

“Bro’s hair looks like Bill Murray’s in King Pin,” another scoffed in an homage to the 1996 film about bowling.

“Take me out to the ballll [sic] game, take me out with the crowd,” laughed a third, saying the oldest-ever president was more similar to legendary Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray.

“Joe Biden has entered his Andy Warhol era,” a fourth X account noticed, while a fifth observer simply shared Nick Nolte’s notorious mugshot for driving under the influence in 2002.

Still others said Biden had broken out of presidential mode to resemble instead “a combo of a mad scientist and the crypt keeper.”

“Biden looks increasingly like the Crypt Keeper, which is fitting as he presides over a historically massive handout to the Merchants of Death,” posted another, apparently opposing the administration providing military aid for US allies in conflicts abroad.

A third wrote: “Biden’s entire presidency summed up in a hairdo.”

The retiring president approached the press pen after delivering remarks about a highly decorated, 30-foot red spruce tree placed at the Ellipse and now embodying the “spirit” of the season.

“The theme is ‘A Season of Peace and Light’ — of peace and light — the peace we feel as we pause and reflect on our blessing and the light — the light we see as we gather with loved ones that cherish our time together,” Biden said, in a nod to first lady Jill Biden’s holiday theme announced earlier this week.

“During this season of reflection and renewal, many of us will sing ‘O Holy Night.’ A phrase in the song is, ‘His law is love; His gospel is peace,'” the second Catholic president went on.

“May [sic] wish for you and for the nation, now and always, is we continue to seek the light of liberty and love, kindness and compassion, dignity and decency,” he added.

“Merry Christmas, America. Merry Christmas to all of you. And may God bless you all. And may God protect — may God protect our troops.”

The wind was biting in the nation’s usually balmy capital last night, bringing in a winter chill to mark the start of the holiday season.

Biden 'Worst President' In Modern History; Devastating New Poll Finds


Voters have delivered a devastating verdict on Joe Biden's time in office, branding him the worst president in almost 50 years.

The poll results are extremely interesting because they partially reflect America’s profound partisan divide (Reagan and Obama had the same favorables, but Obama’s unfavorables were higher).

Meanwhile, Donald Trump had the third highest favorables but his unfavorables were second only to Biden’s, dropping him in the rankings.

The one thing, though, is that, of the 1006 registered voters polled, everyone thought Biden was totally awful.

Some 44 percent placed him as one of the worst two, while only 14 percent placed him in the top two, giving him a net score of 30 points underwater.

That was worse than Nixon, who came out with negative 25, and Donald Trump, with negative 15.

James Johnson, cofounder of J.L. Partners which conducted the poll, called it a 'diabolical' result for Biden.

"There's always a recency bias and as Joe Biden is the incumbent, he starts off at a disadvantage there," he said.

"But regardless of that, these numbers are worse than I expected."

As Andrea Widburg writes at AmericanThinker, while time softened Nixon’s reputation, especially when it became clear that Mark Felt became Deep Throat, not out of principle, but out of pique because Nixon didn’t appoint him as the new FBI head, time will not burnish Biden’s presidency.

This will be especially true if the RINOs get out of the way and let Trump have the most spectacularly successful presidency in American history. Trump’s roaring economy, foreign policy successes, and sovereign border, along with the fact that his presidency will see at least some return to cultural normalcy, will make Joe Biden’s tenure look even worse.

The thing about Biden’s presidency is that he wasn’t a victim of circumstances.

Even Carter could be said to have been a victim of the Iranian Revolution, although it’s hard to imagine anyone handling it worse than he did.

Biden is unique in that he deliberately created the circumstances that made his presidency so disastrous. It was his affirmative, proudly touted policies that drove inflation, opened the border, and led to so much American weakness on the world stage that two potential “WWIII starting points” erupted. It was his values, his weaknesses, his corruption, and his senility that got moved events.

I sincerely hope that history is incredibly cruel to Biden. He will have left the White House 50 years after setting his sights on it, but I want his legacy to be tarnished in his own mind. Anyone who has wreaked such terrible havoc on this once proud nation deserves to be horribly aware of the disdain in which his countrymen hold him.

Justice Jackson’s trans case questions reveal the poor pick Biden made for SCOTUS



It is no small irony that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the beneficiary of President Joe Biden’s promise to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court, does not herself know what a woman is.

Jackson made all the wrong kinds of headlines during her confirmation hearings when she claimed to be unable to provide a definition.

“I’m not a biologist,” she declared with a laugh that betrayed an irritation at being asked what she perceived to be a trick question.

It was a bad moment that nevertheless could have been chalked up to nerves, or being caught off guard.

But as it turns out, it was a strong indicator of what was to come.

On Thursday, the Court held its oral argument in United States v. Skrmetti.

At stake was the constitutional viability of a Tennessee law barring minors from receiving so-called “gender affirming care,” i.e., puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and sex-reassignment surgeries.

The argument of those seeking to see it invalidated was that the provision violated the Equal Protection Clause’s prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex.

Its proponents, meanwhile, submitted that it discriminated based on medical purpose rather than sex.

Justice Jackson thought she had undone the latter argument on Thursday when she interrupted Tennessee Solicitor General Matthew Rice as he tried to explain that a child’s desire not to “grow breasts” is not a legitimate medical purpose for such treatments, be it for a boy or a girl.

“It’s the same medical purpose,” she insisted about the hypothetical, this time with more than a hint of irritation. “I’m trying to stop the development of breasts.”

Rice was taken aback.

“Tennessee law doesn’t just allow doctors to prescribe drugs without a medical purpose,” he explained patiently.

“A girl who doesn’t want to grow – grow breasts for whatever reason could – could – could or could not get it?” she followed-up.

“Does not want to grow breasts?” he asked quizzically.

“Yes,” she replied agitatedly.

“Without a medical reason? Could not get it,” he confirmed.

Jackson’s bizarro world in which a desire or even whim not to grow breasts constitutes a “medical purpose” was too much even for an advocate who had spent countless hours preparing for the case – and that’s not a credit to her.

Incredibly – and implausibly – it wasn’t the most egregious moment of the day for Jackson.

With little else to lean on, she repeatedly compared Tennessee’s bill to the interracial marriage ban in Old Dominion that the Court struck down in 1967’s Loving v. Virginia.

During one colloquy, Jackson professed to be “getting kind of nervous,” before worrying that under the structure of Tennessee’s law, anti-miscegenation statutes might have stood the test of time.

Rice tried to address her concerns by explaining that “giving testosterone to 🅰 boy with a deficiency is not the same treatment as giving it to a girl who has psychological distress associated with her body.”

“And what’s your basis for saying that?” she asked.

Rice was too polite and had too much at stake to answer this way, but . . . elementary reasoning skills?

Of course, Jackson’s invocation of the worst kind of racial discrimination in a case about experimental, irreversible medical treatments for minors’ psychological conditions had nothing to do with reasoning.

It was little more than a hamhanded attempt at distracting from the core issues of the case and smearing those trying to implement basic protections for American children.

And it was characteristic of Jackson’s deplorable jurisprudential record.

Last year, when the court struck down race-based affirmative action in college admissions, Jackson eschewed any mention of the systematic discrimination against Asian American applicants to accuse the majority of “let-them-eat-cake obliviousness.”

Earlier this year, Jackson objected to the court’s protection of citizens’ most basic rights against government overreach on the grounds that doing so was “an absurdity.”

She even attempted to undermine the public’s faith in her own institution by charging her fellow justices with carving out an undue exception for President-elect Donald Trump after the court issued its common-sense ruling on presidential immunity.

Jackson is not only incapable of interpreting the law in a cogent manner, she’s incapable of civil disagreement with her peers.

Even in oral argument, she struggles to disguise her partisan allegiance — and keep her composure.

As President Biden’s administration winds down and his allies grapple with his failed tenure, Jackson stands out as one of his greatest mistakes.

After all, her shortcomings aren’t just fodder for conservative critics.

Jackson is unsuited for her position, and she’s destined to leave an inconsequential legacy in it.

Unlike, say, Justice Elena Kagan, Jackson lacks the skills and comportment necessary to persuade the originalist majority on the Court of much of anything

Indeed, she gives conservative legal observers ample reason to celebrate her ascension to the highest court in the land.

Progressives, meanwhile, must be lamenting their plight.

To be condemned to a minority on the Supreme Court is bad enough.

To have members of its coalition be so ineffectual must be unbearable.

For that disappointment — and so many others — they have President Biden to thank.

Laughable: Biden Claims Trump Is Inheriting A Strong Economy

Steve Watson
11th December 2024

The cost of living is up $30k for most Americans

During a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. Tuesday, Joe Biden claimed that the US economy has been a “success” under his administration.

“Most economists agree the new administration is going to inherit a fairly strong economy,” Biden ridiculously claimed.

He added, “It is my profound hope that the new administration will preserve and build on this progress.”

Biden admin extends $10B Iran sanctions waiver 2 days after Trump election win


Republicans have criticized sanctions waivers for Iran, which they argue allows the regime to support terrorism

The Biden administration has renewed a controversial sanctions waiver that will allow Iran access to some $10 billion in payments from Iraq – an action that came just two days after President-elect Trump emerged victorious on Election Day.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken again extended the waiver for humanitarian trade, which permits Iran to access accounts in Iraq and Oman. However, Republican critics have said that allowing the Iranian regime access to these funds frees up money Iran can use to support terrorism in the Middle East or advance its nuclear program.

"On November 7th, the department did renew Iraq's electricity waiver for the 23rd time since 2018. It was done so for an additional 120 days," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel confirmed last week.

"We remain committed to reducing Iran's malign influence in the region. Our viewpoint is that a stable, sovereign and secure Iraq is critical to these efforts," he added, pointing out that this sanctions waiver began in 2018 during the first Trump administration.

Congress has passed several sanctions targeting Iran that give the president authority to temporarily suspend, or "waive" the sanctions if the president determines doing so is in the interests of U.S. national security.

The waiver is set to expire after Trump takes office in January. It is unclear whether the Trump administration would again extend the sanctions relief. The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, argued Tuesday that the sanctions waiver allows Iran to fund proxy terror groups that have attacked U.S. forces in the Middle East.

"The House voted to eliminate these waiver authorities — twice. But the Biden administration is still waiving the sanctions, putting more money in the Iranian regime’s pockets to fund its terrorist proxies and nuclear weapons program," McCaul posted on X.

"The U.S. should not be subsidizing Iran’s malign activities."

Biden Quietly Commuted Sentences Of Chinese Spies



President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administation called the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.” But it’s not Thursday’s set of commutations that have caught the attention of concerned Americans — it’s those that were quietly given weeks ago to Chinese spies.

X user Nick Sortor posted that “Joe Biden just pardoned multiple Chinese spies and an individual convicted of possessing child p*rnography. WHY?”

But the thing is, Biden didn’t “just” commute the sentences for these criminals — he did it quietly only days before Thanksgiving.

While most Americans were finalizing their menus and getting into the holiday spirit, Biden commuted the sentence of Yanjun Xu on November 22. Xu was convicted in 2022 for “conspiracy to commit economic espionage; conspiracy to commit trade secret theft; attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud; attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception.”

But according to Biden’s pardon, “it is in the national interest that the term of imprisonment related to the aforesaid conviction not be served in its entirety.”

Xu was ordered to leave the United States and never return or commit any other crimes against the United States, according to the pardon.

Similarly, spy Ji Chaoqun was convicted of “conspiracy to defraud the United States; impersonating agents of foreign governments; statements or entries generally.” Ji arrived in the United States in 2013 on an F1 Visa before later enlisting in the U.S. Army Reserves “under a program allowing legal immigrants with special skills to serve,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

According to the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, “Ji worked at the direction of high-level intelligence officers in the Jiangsu Province Ministry of State Security, a provincial department of the Ministry of State Security for the People’s Republic of China.”

But Biden commuted his sentence. “On Nov. 22, Biden, with no fanfare or public announcement, granted clemency to Ji and Xu,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported, noting that the move may have been part of a prisoner swap. Notably, Biden doesn’t indicate in either document granting clemency why he chose to do so.

Damon Cheronis, the attorney who represented Ji, told the Chicago Sun-Times he was not notified about the clemency beforehand.

“I learned about it [Wednesday] morning, when he was released,” Cheronis told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It was not something that anyone was made aware of, including my client.”

Even more disturbing, Biden also granted clemency to Shanlin Jin, who was convicted after “police found more than 47,000 images and videos of child pornography in his computer.” One such video allegedly showed “an adult male sexually assaulting a female infant,” according to The Dallas Morning News.

The three commutations were reportedly part of a prisoner swap in exchange for Mark Sweden, Kai Li, and John Leung, according to Financial Times.

But prisoner swaps are typically hailed by the president and the media. When basketball player Brittney Griner was released from Russia (in exchange for the man known as “Merchant of Death”), Biden held a press conference at the White House celebrating Griner’s return.

Biden similarly held another event when Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan were released.

So why was Biden and his administration so quiet about this Chinese swap?

Biden Lied About Everything: Philly Fed Finds All Jobs "Created" In Q2 Were Fake



Back in August, many were surprised by the accuracy of our forecast, when we predicted that in its annual revision, the Biden Bureau of Labor Statistics would revise jobs for the April 2023-March 2024 period by "up to 1 million", something which we said would mean that all job report "beats" recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US labor market is in far worse shape than the admin would admit.

The final results, as everyone knows by now, was a shocking 818K revision lower, just as the Philadelphia Fed had predicted 6 months prior, in March, when it calculated correctly that the Biden Department of Goalseeking Propaganda had overstated payrolls by "at least 800,000."

The answer ended up 818,000 for the 12 month period ended March 31 (or about 68,000 per month) and the implied sharp deterioration to the job market was the main scapegoat used by the Fed to launch its easing cycle with a jumbo 50bps rate cut (now that "suddenly" the economic golden age pushed by the Biden propaganda regime, and trillions in debt, had just collapsed).

We mention all of this up because on Friday, the Philly Fed served up its latest shocker: not only did the Biden admin lie again, but the collapse in the labor market that had been covered up for much of the past year and was only exposed with the annual benchmark revision, extended into the second quarter.

"Estimates by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indicate that the employment changes from March through June 2024 were significantly different" - read lower - "in 27 states compared with preliminary state estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES)", the Philly Fed said on December 12.

"According to the early benchmark (EB) estimates conducted by the Phily Fed, employment was lower in 25 states, higher in two states, and lesser changes in the remaining 23 states and the District of Columbia."

Translation: 23 states unchanged, 1 revised higher... and 25 lower. The breakdown is shown below.

Maybe someone can calculate what the odds of that distribution occurring naturally are, but here is our guess: virtually nil. Which is why would make such a loud stink every month after the Biden BLS revised jobs data lower month after month after month. The whole point was to make the labor market appear stronger than it was, then to gradually revised it all away. And now the Philadelphia Fed confirms - again - that we were right all along.

And so, after it first revised the 12 months ending March 31 by 818K, the downgrads extended into the second quarter of 2024, when the Philadelphia Fed early benchmark estimates showed that instead of the 1.1% gain shown initially by the BLS, payroll jobs in the 50 states and the District of Columbia were actually down 0.1%!

By state, the regional Fed bank estimates that largest revision of employment for the nine-month period ended in June will come from California, where it sees a downward revision of 172,700 jobs. Payrolls in Texas may be revised down by 112,100. An extended forecast by the BLS to the third quarter show further declines as well.

And while we don't yet know the specifics of the revisions - those will be revealed on Feb 7, 2025 when the final numbers are published - at the national level, we do know that all the jobs reportedly "created" in the second quarter, were actually fake, there were no net jobs created at all, and in fact, the US lost jobs in Q2!

Translation: in his latest attempt to create an impression of economic growth, Biden lied about everything, again.

Nobody is really surprised. Thank GOD his DEI pick lost.

It Sure Seems Like Joe Biden Is a Sociopath


For decades, Americans have been assured that President Joe Biden's character stands above the fray. Democrats and even some Republicans have insisted that he's a man of "decency" with great respect for decorum. The amount of glowing puff pieces written about him could fill a small library.

Of course, the truth is much more sinister. It's also been obvious to anyone willing to analyze Biden with even an ounce of honesty and integrity. On the contrary, he is one of the most corrupt, sociopathic individuals to ever hold the presidency, and that was on full display during his latest interview.

While speaking to "Meidas Touch News," whose Editor Chief is far-left activist Ron Filipkowski, Biden was asked if he had any regrets stemming from his presidency and if he would have done anything differently. His answer is everything wrong with the political class in one, slurred sentence.

INTERVIEWER: Any other regrets? Anything that you wished you had done differently?

BIDEN: I guess if I thought a lot about it, there'd be something (slurs speech) I would [have] done specifically, but not generically.

Is calling the President of the United States a sociopath too harsh? Admittedly, it's a strong term, but if the shoe fits, who am I to argue? Sociopaths are marked by an extreme lack of conscience and empathy for those they've harmed. What is Biden demonstrating in that clip if not those very traits?

It is hard to fathom the lack of basic humanity the president must possess to not be able to list a single thing he would have done differently throughout his term. Over a dozen American service members were killed in Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and he has no regrets about that? There's no decision he would have changed related to how it was carried out? Imagine how the Gold Star families he created must feel hearing this guy claim he made no mistakes.

Given Biden's answer, I also have to assume he'd change nothing about his policies at the Southern Border. Apparently, he's just fine with all the women and children who have been trafficked, raped, or killed due to his stubborn, narcissistic refusal to change course. I'd say that's quite the admission. Wouldn't you?

Even backing away from the literal death and destruction he's caused, would Biden not shift his economic strategy that led to prices rising over 20 percent if given the chance? What about the decision to promote and fund abusive "gender-affirming care" for minors? That was fine too, I guess. After all, he can't think of anything specific.

This is why so many Americans hate Washington and the politicians who inhabit it. When a normal person makes a mistake that impacts the lives of others, even on a much lesser scale than anything Biden has done, they apologize. They admit they should have done things differently because not doing so would point to something something being very mentally wrong.

That concept is completely foreign to Biden and those like him, though. In his mind, he can never admit a mistake, and if that means spitting on the graves of dead service members in the process, then so be it. That, my dear friends, is sociopathic.

Now? The complicit presstitutes and their Free Press FINALLY admit to what anyone with cognitive abilities were able to see from the git go...

White House aides hid Biden’s apparent mental decline from Day 1 of his presidency, explosive report reveals



White House aides covered up President Biden’s apparent mental decline from Day 1 of his presidency, shielding the aging commander-in-chief from the public and even rearranging his schedule after scatterbrained performances, an explosive report revealed Thursday.

The lack of access to the nation’s oldest-ever president has been well known in Washington — with Biden hosting the fewest large press conferences in modern history and frequently descending into gaffes at the podium when he appeared — but how much the White House made up for the haziness had until now been hidden, according to aides, Democratic lawmakers and donors who spoke with the Wall Street Journal.

Presidential staff formed a tight shell around Biden, 82, right after he took office amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with staff immediately limiting his in-person interactions in January 2021.

But staffers also began making adjustments to daily plans when the president appeared tired or kept stumbling on the world stage — both figuratively and literally.

By spring 2021, meetings were being rescheduled to accommodate for his “good days and bad days.”

According to the Journal, a national security official told an aide at the time: “He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow.”

Meetings were often scheduled for later in the day — a fact first disclosed after Biden’s debate flop against President-elect Donald Trump, when staff admitted the then-Democratic nominee had difficulty functioning outside a six-hour window that closed around 4 p.m. daily.

Once inside the room with the president, officials were instructed to make their briefings short and to the point. Private discussions with even some of his top cabinet picks, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, grew more infrequent.

One cabinet official eventually stopped reaching out to schedule talks with the commander in chief after having been repeatedly rebuffed, an ex-aide revealed.

The White House also hired a voice coach, Hollywood mogul and campaign co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, to try to improve his faint, raspy tone.

Other staffers removed negative reports from Biden’s stack of news for the day, misleading him about the public’s opinion of his job performance — which reached a 70-year low in 2024.

Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates disputed the characterization of his boss.

“President Biden speaks with members of his cabinet daily, and with most members multiple times a week, staying close with them about implementation of key laws and strengthening our national security,” Bates said in a statement.

“President Biden leads a modern administration. Cabinet meetings are an important tradition, but the contemporary work environment means they can be fewer and far between.”

But the signs had been there throughout his term in the Oval Office: He frequently relied on notecards, was spotted having large directions printed for him, often mixed up the names of foreign dignitaries or other facts and gaffed when he went off-script or ignored his teleprompter.

The president’s sit-down with special counsel Robert Hur over what was later deemed his “willful” retention of classified documents also tested his mental stamina.

Biden was the one who reportedly pushed for the Hur interview, per the WSJ, and staffers backed the decision in hopes of showing that Biden was more cooperative than Trump, then his opponent in the 2024 presidential race.

But the interview prep quickly turned into a headache. Preparation sessions took three hours a day and Biden would forget his “lines” and fluctuate in his energy levels, according to the outlet. A transcript posted after the grueling, two-day affair in October 2023 revealed he forgot the year his son Beau Biden died of brain cancer.

A Bidenworld source dismissed the president’s hazy recall, telling The Post, “Every person who has ever prepared for a legal interview has forgotten some of the prep.”

The ring around Biden was equally tight during his brief and unsuccessful re-election campaign, with staffers fielding questions so much, it surprised donors about their degree of control.

The Democratic candidate previously got filled in on his numbers by pollster John Anzalone during his successful 2020 campaign, but by 2024, no survey findings were relayed directly to Biden and were instead passed along through memos to campaign aides.

The withholding of the information particularly concerned Biden campaign pollsters as Trump’s numbers began to tick up.

Campaign staff were also concerned that first lady Jill Biden would outshine the president, even during the 2020 primary, according to the Journal.

“The more you talk her up, the more you make him look bad,” her press secretary at the time, Michael LaRosa, told the outlet he was instructed by Jill’s closest confidant, White House staffer Anthony Bernal.

During her husband’s term, the first lady even tried to stop him from going it alone too long at press conferences, fearing he’d be caught flat-footed by questions as the events dragged on.

“President Biden has earned the most accomplished record of any modern commander-in-chief and rebuilt the middle class because of his attention to policy details that impact millions of lives, his active solicitation of diverse opinions from outside experts, everyday Americans, members of Congress and other elected officials, his cabinet, and historians, and because of his determination to fulfill a big-picture economic agenda that realized major priorities Democrats have worked toward for decades,” Bates added in a statement to The Post.

“During every presidency, there are inevitably some in Washington who do not receive as much time with whomever the president is as they would prefer; but that never means that the president isn’t engaging thoroughly with others, as this president does.”

Naw, take Morning Joe's take and swallow down that he's the best version he's ever been and roll with it. If you're the Vice President (even if she's dumb as ****!) your ONLY job is to make sure the President can do his job and if not invoke the 25th Amendment. Did she? No. Bag of Stupidity provided cover. The entire mainstream (or as Trump appropriately calls them FAKE NEWS!) buried stories that our nation was being lead by a dolt. They admonished anyone daring to say that we're all in danger and people are dying because he's a dimwitted moron were told by a mop-topped lesbian that looked like a toilet brush that was used to clean up the infamous toilet in "Trainspotting" that it was all deep fakes! Those reading this...we made it. A lot poorer, but alive. 4 years of one massive clusterfuck that was installed upon us so the Covid-1984 could usher in vaccine passports and maintain a new order for control and dominance. You can still see the idiotic window lickers with facemasks acting like you just farted in their general direction. The Constitution was there the entire time peeking out from under the Dark Brandon aka Emperor Palpatine charade foisted upon the entire world with catastrophic consequences. Europe and the Middle East are literally on fire and the globe is a blonde pubic hair away from WWIII. All while the presstitutes whitewashed this diminished sock monkey and his fake doctor power grubbing spouse that like to eat at State dinners. Oh the news that will come out will be like a river overflowing. You won't be able to stay dry and head to the high ground to get a good look at the crap as it passes on by. Relish in the fact that you made it out alive. Mourn for those that were too stupid and still voted for this sham though. They're still not well. They're among us shaving their heads, crying, hoarding abortion pills gleefully shouting they're withholding sex (why? the ones I've seen...nobody is having ANYTHING to do with them...much less something called a sex act!) and STILL clutching on to their progressive ideology despite being shown how horribly wrong it all was for the past 4 years. We dodged a bullet by not having Kameltoe Hairs and Tampon Timmay A-Walz anywhere near a decision for America all while their boss is pardoning the sickest criminal **** we've ever seen.

LEFTY's shameless thievery never stops.
LAME DUCK administration hands out student debt relief to special interest tax eaters who probably don't pay their student loans anyway.


Biden Administration Pushes Another $4.28 Billion Student Loan Bailout for Public Sector Workers While Hardworking Taxpayers Foot the Bill

by Jim Hᴏft Dec. 20, 2024 9:45 am

The Biden administration announced on Friday, the approval of an additional $4.28 billion in student loan forgiveness for nearly 55,000 public service workers.

While U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona lauds this as a win for public servants, claiming the administration has “delivered” on its promises, the real cost of these actions is borne by everyday Americans struggling to make ends meet.

Cardona boasted in his statement about fixing the so-called “broken” Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program, praising Biden and Harris for their “unapologetic focus” on making government “deliver” for select groups.

What he didn’t mention is that this “delivery” comes at the expense of a ballooning national debt, now exceeding 100% of GDP—levels unseen since World War II. According to the New York Post, this reckless spending spree is pushing America further toward an economic tipping point.

“Four years ago, the Biden-Harris Administration made a pledge to America’s teachers, service members, nurses, first responders, and other public servants that we would fix the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, and I’m proud to say that we delivered,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona in a statement.

“With the approval of another $4.28 billion in loan forgiveness for nearly 55,000 public servants, the Administration has secured nearly $180 billion in life-changing student debt relief for nearly five million borrowers.

“The U.S. Department of Education’s successful transformation of the PSLF Program is a testament to what’s possible when you have leaders, like President Biden and Vice President Harris, who are relentlessly and unapologetically focused on making government deliver for everyday working people,” he added.

This latest handout follows the Supreme Court’s rejection of Biden’s broader student debt cancellation plan earlier this year, a plan many saw as an unconstitutional overreach.

But true to form, Biden has simply circumvented the decision, doling out forgiveness in smaller increments, piecemeal, in what critics call a blatant disregard for the rule of law.

Pedo Joe just bein' Pedo Joe. Pardoning the pedophiles and killers he hopes to soften his own poor image.


Biden continues to destroy what’s left of the Dem Party on his way out the door…



Well, here we go again, folks. Joe Biden is once again on a mission to destroy what little remains of the fabric holding the Dem Party together as he prepares to hobble out of the White House. In true Biden fashion, he seems determined to take down the party that treated him like yesterday’s garbage—this time through wildly inappropriate and inexcusable pardons and commuted sentences.

It starts with his crooked, crackhead son, who he pardoned after blatantly lying to the American people. But Biden didn’t stop there. He went on to commute the death sentences of mass murderers and child killers.

Tis the season!

Sure, that move from Joe probably made the killers feel all warm and fuzzy, but how do you think that made the victims’ families feel? Joe doesn’t care.

And the media doesn’t care either. As you’d expect in this crazy country we now live in, the way this abomination was reported couldn’t be more different depending on the outlet. The difference between how a fair and balanced media outlet frames the story versus the progressive shills pandering to the regime is downright shameful.

Yes, both headlines below are truthful, but one conveniently leaves out a major—and very important—part of the story… on purpose. That’s called “fake news.”

Here’s a close-up of the New York Post and New York Times headlines. The framing couldn’t be more different—or more deceptive. Clearly, the Times is circling the wagons for the left once again. What’s new, right?

As Alex pointed out in his tweet above, it’s the Post article that resonates with Americans—not the pathetic regime propaganda puff piece from the NYT.

The New York Post:

President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers — while leaving off three notorious fiends.

In the stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas, Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to some of the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said.

“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden said in a statement.

“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”

Here’s some of the dregs of humanity receiving a hefty dose of holiday cheer from good ol’ Uncle Joe. The New York Post piece goes on:

Among those receiving the holiday cheer is Thomas Sanders, who in 2010 kidnapped and then shot 12-year-old Lexis Roberts four times and cut her throat in Louisiana — days after the girl watched as Sanders murdered her mother on a road trip near the Grand Canyon.

Christmas also came early for Anthony Battle, who murdered an Atlanta prison guard with a hammer in 1994 while serving a life sentence for raping and murdering his wife, a US Marine, in 1987 at Camp Lejeune, NC.

Jorge Avila-Torrez sexually assaulted and stabbed to death two girls — Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9 — who had been riding their bicycles in their neighborhood in a suburb north of Chicago in 2005.

Four years later, he strangled naval officer Amanda Snell, 20, inside her barrack in Arlington, Va.

Iouri Mikhel, another clemency recipient, was convicted of murdering five Russian and Georgian immi­grants after kidnapping them for ransom, which in some cases was paid before he killed them anyway.

Kaboni Savage, meanwhile, was convicted of committing or ordering the deaths of 12 people including four children as a Philadelphia drug dealer — while James Roane, Jr. participated in the murder of 11 people as a drug dealer in Richmond, Va.

Meanwhile, Biden has spent years making his J6 political prisoners—who meandered around the Capitol with flags and smiles—sound like the second coming of Charles Manson. Yet these ghoulish killers, who destroyed countless lives, get a Christmas present courtesy of the crooked Biden regime.

And also, let’s not forget how the left will fight for murderers and child killers to live on the taxpayers’ dime, all while celebrating and “shouting” their abortions from the rooftops. We dare anyone to try and make sense of that thought process. Inauguration Day can’t come soon enough.

‘Devout Catholic’ President Celebrates Kwanzaa. Ain't that nice. 🤨

Joe Biden Celebrates Kwanzaa – A Phony Holiday Created by a Violent Felon Who Tortured Two Naked Women

by Cristina Laila Dec. 26, 2024 2:20 pm

On Thursday Joe Biden wished Americans ‘a very happy Kwanzaa’ – a fake holiday created by a violent felon who tortured two naked women.

Kwanzaa is a phony holiday created in 1966 by black radical Ron Everett — aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, a violent felon who tortured two naked black women.

“Deborah Jones, who once was given the Swahili title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes,” a 1971 Los Angeles Times article reported about Karenga’s conviction.

“Jill and I wish all those celebrating a very happy Kwanzaa—one blessed with peace, hope, and light,” Biden said on Thursday.

“This week, millions will gather with their families to light the seven candles of the Mishumaa Saba and commit themselves to the Seven Principles – from unity and self-determination to faith,” Biden said.

“Jill and I hope that your Kwanzaa is blessed with peace and light this season,” Biden added.

Joe Biden didn’t even show this much enthusiasm in his Christmas message.

Joe Biden on Tuesday evening posted a bizarre Christmas Eve message attached to a drone video of the White House Christmas decorations.

‘Devout Catholic’ Joe Biden distanced himself from the message of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Our Lying Eyes: New Photo Shows Biden with Hunter ‘s Business Associates Despite Past Denials


“Lies.” That response was a mantra for President Joe Biden, who denied ever meeting or knowing about his son’s foreign dealings. Despite the pronounced lack of interest by most media outlets in the alleged multimillion dollar influence-peddling scheme, the House and conservative groups have doggedly pursued the matter and found overwhelming evidence that the President has repeatedly lied about his interactions with foreign clients. Now, a new photo further contradicts the President, who recently pardoned his son for any crimes committed over a ten-year period.

America First Legal has been engaged in a prolonged legal fight with the National Archives to get access to the undisclosed evidence. It recently won critical rulings forcing the release. The discovery includes this photo of then-vice president Joe Biden meeting with Hunter and his clients. It adds to an already ample photographic and testimonial record contradicting the President’s past denials.

The House has released records showing $27 million in payments from foreign sources to Hunter Biden and his business partners from 2014 to 2019. Hunter used official trips with his father to facilitate some of these associations.

Despite denying meeting with these clients or knowing anything about his son’s dealings, it was later revealed that Biden was repeatedly put on a speakerphone with clients, attended dinners, and took pictures with them, including BHR Partners CEO Jonathan Li. A key witness said that he sat down with Joe Biden specifically to discuss these foreign deals with this son.

Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s son and daughter.

In the summer of 2019, Li wired Hunter Biden $250,000 that originated in Beijing and had Joe Biden’s Delaware home as the beneficiary address.

There were diamonds as gifts, lavish expense accounts, and a sports car, in addition to massive payments that Hunter claimed were “loans.” There are messages like the one to a Chinese businessman openly threatening the displeasure of Joe Biden if money is not sent to them immediately. In the WhatsApp message, Hunter stated:

“I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the Chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

After years of ignoring the influence-peddling scandal, the media is not likely to suddenly pursue the story. In the meantime, Democrats have praised or rationalized Biden for pardoning his son despite the fact that it covered possible crimes that might implicate not just Hunter but his father in corruption.

Only two out of ten Americans support the pardon. However, Sen. ****** Durbin (D., Ill.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Senate majority whip, called it a “labor of love.”

And, as we learned in a certain 1970 film, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry” . . . particularly when you have pardon power.

Biden Confirms Suspect Behind New Orleans Terror Attack ‘Inspired by ISIS’



President Joe Biden confirmed that the New Orleans terror suspect, who drove a pickup truck through a crowd of people on Bourbon Street, had been “inspired by ISIS.”

During a speech from Camp David, Biden thanked the law enforcement officers and first responders “who stopped the attacker in his tracks before he could” kill or injure more people, and officials within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for “working non-stop to investigate” the attack.

Biden added that the FBI had reported to him that the suspect, who was previously identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was “an American citizen” who was born in Texas and had previously served in the United States Army and in the U.S. Army Reserve. Biden also noted that videos posted to social media had indicated Jabbar “was inspired by ISIS.”

“I know I can speak for all Americans when I say, our hearts are with the people of New Orleans after 🅰 despicable attack occurred in early morning hours,” Biden said. “To all the families of those that were killed, to all those who were injured, to all the people in New Orleans who are grieving today, I want you to know I grieve with you. Our nation grieves with you, we are going to stand with you as you mourn and as you heal in the weeks to come.”

Biden added: “Here’s what we know so far. The FBI’s reported to me the killer was an American citizen, born in Texas. He served in the United States Army on active duty for many years. He also served in the Army Reserve until a few years ago. The FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media, indicating that he was inspired by ISIS — expressing a desire to kill. The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to conduct this attack.”

“Possible explosives were found in the vehicle as well,” Biden continued. “And, more explosives were found nearby.”

The attack, which occurred around 3:15 a.m., left at least 15 people dead and around 35 others injured, according to WDSU 6 News.

DISGUSTING: Joe Biden to Award J6 Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney, and Two of His Longtime Cronies America’s Second Highest Civilian Medal

by Cullen Linebarger Jan. 2, 2025 9:30 am

The man currently occupying the White House residence has decided to insult his successor and victims of his regime’s persecution one last time.

As Axios reported, Joe Biden will award the second highest civilian medal to 20 individuals today. These include the leaders of the January 6th select committee, Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), along with two of his longtime friends/cronies, former Senators Ted Kaufman (D-DE) and Chris Dodd (D-CT).

The award, known as the Presidential Citizens Medal, is generally given to Americans who have “performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.” The Biden regime’s view of service is persecuting their enemies and having the right kind of relationship with Old Joe.
